So many misconceptions here. Furst was the production designer who conceived the original graphic design which had a generic phallic shape. Terry ackland snow and his team actually built the batmobile. First as a clay model which was tweaked by both furst and burton into the batmobile seen in the film sans detail. Snow then added details like the retracting roof, gas caps, head and tail lights, etc.

doesn't look all that generic to me. It has a pointy front piece instead of a blunt one. Not much else different.

That's a later evolved sketch with Burton's suggestions, that became the first clay model. There's a much more primordial sketch which was Furst's first crack at it. Its on the Batman special features DVD. Try again.

That was Anton's original sketch. The early batmobile drawings you're talking about were from the story board artist's drawings.

That's simply untrue. Furst didn't come up with that sketch on the first crack. Not only is this clear in the history of how they developed the batmobile as I stated earlier and verified by the special features DVD. But just looking at the sketch, one can see its not the original sketch as numerous features appear to be suggestions that were added onto the design from the headlights to the pointed nose, etc.

Protip: let it go. Everyone here knows it wasn't Tim Burton who designed the Batmobile singlehandedly. Calling it "Burton's Batmobile" simply refers to the movies in which it was used. Same situation would be applicable to the Tumbler, calling it "Nolan's Batmobile."

maybe the nexxxxt Batman Car Batman mobiliary vehicle should be shaped like a Bell End and complete the prophecy of ensuing the understanding that it is meant to THRUST into the night... akbar illahi bin kheriat ali

I maintain that the best Batmobile design is actually the B:TAS Batmobile.

If you mean this one
I almost agree with you. But I really love the Arkham Asylum batmobile. It's like a combo of the first BTAS batmobile, that batmobile and the 89 batmobile, with the tough armor look of the tumbler.
